IMPROVEMENT IN POTS FOR; GLUE, PAINT, &c.

'l'o all whom t't may conccrn:

Be it known that I, JOHN J. Wi sox, of the city and State of New York, have inven cd a certain new and useful lmprovement in Pots -for Glue, Varnish, &c.; and the following is hereby deciarcd to be a full and correct description of the same.

Herctofore it has been usual to draw orV press the glue or other brush against the side or edge of the pot to press ont the snrplus material from the same,

. with gluc, paint, and varnish. This causes a waste eonvenicnt position for the person taking -paint or other material from the pot.

\Vith glue, the repeated drawing` of the brush against the inside and edge of the pot, fornis a thick layer upon the same in a short time, and said layer has'to be removcd, and often thrown away, because the heat has renderedit nnfit tbrbcing put into the pot and re-heated.

To avoid the waste of paint, glue, &c., above mentioned, and to keep the potor can in a cleanly condi- A tion, is the object of my invention; and the samo consists in a ring supported above the top of the pot or can, and against which the brnsh is drawn to press out the snrplus paint or other material from the brush, said'ring being ofa less diametcr than the pot or can to which it is applied, in order that the material pressed from the brush may fall back directly into the pot without running down the sides of the same,

thercby avoidingI the waste of material herctoforc usual.

In the drawing- Figure ji is a plan of a pot fittcd with my improve- Figure 2 is a Vertical section of the samo.

I have shown said improvcmeiit as'applied to avarnish-pot or can, but I here remark that the samo can be applied to paint, gluc, or other pot's.

a reprcscnts the body of the pot for containing the varnish, and the samo is provided with the handle b, as `usual, and said pot may be of any desired size or material.

The ring e, against which the brush is drawn to press out the snrplus varnish or other inaterial, is supported above the top ofthe pot by the arms 74. h, attached to the inside 'of the pot, and said ring is of a less dianieter than the pot or can to which it is applied, so that said snrplus material as prcssed from.

the brush will not run down the sides of the pot, but

drop from the brush and ring directly into the material in the pot, and the brush itsclf is kept from contaet with the pot hy the ring being suliicicntly above.

The cover Z for the potvor can may be supported by ,the ring c, or otherwise, and may fit' the can or pot either loosely or not, as oecasion may require. 4

l have shown the cover Z as provided with the reccss toreccive the handle ot' the brush, as usual in varnish pots, and as supported by the ring o, and fitting the pot' loosely, in order that the cover may be casil y removed or repla'ccd.

Aly improvcment can he applied at a trifling cost V to all hinds of pots for containing glue, varnish, paint, &c., and by its use a considerable saving in material will be elfected, as aforesaid. The outside of the pot will not get soiled except by carelessncss, and the ring fornis no obstruction to the mixing of material i'n said pot, or to taking it fromthe same' l claim as my invention- A paint or other pot fitted with a ring of a less diameter than the pot to which it is applied, and supported above the pot by arms attached to and rising.

from' the pot, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

Dated May 2-5, A. l). 1870.
